Randle changed my mind on him. He's been beasting lately. At this point Ingram and Julias are tied for the best players on this team. With Lonzo and Kuz only like a year away from being on their level. But yeah keep Randle. In the words of Teddy Kgb "Pay that man his money"

FWIW: If the Lakers finish the last 30 games at the current .404 rate that would give us 33 wins

And that's if we stay at 21-31...we're what? 10 and 7 over our last 17?

I could see us at 35 36 Ws. And the thing is we're beating quality teams in the process. Luke is doing an excellent job._________________"This game's in the refrigerator. The door is closed, the lights are out. the eggs are coolin', the butter's gettin' hard and the jello's jigglin'."

Refs need to be fined. None of them saw Randle take multiple shots to the head?!

You understand that it was in our interest for the clock to run out, yeah? He's a big boy, he'll be fine.

Great win, had to fight for it to make up for the handling errors and inconsistent calls.

You understand that the whole platform for flagrant one and flagrant 2 fouls is protecting the head right? Concussion protocol ring a bell?
Once you start caving to home team complaints at the detriment of a players noggin, expect a team complaint.

No elbow, no solid forearm, they were tussling and caught the base of his head pushing back at the end. Sore place to get clipped, but not exactly a major concussion risk, he'll be fine. Clock ran out and we won. There were plenty of fouls, but generally it was them wrapping up or hitting his arms.

People are reacting like Adams was dropping forearm smashes to the back of his head, he had his arms the same place they were for most of the games - around a Laker.

If there's a complaint and it's upheld, good - in the wider perspective. But I was hoping for someone to take the ball and see it out. Randle stepped up.

But, if they'd put time back on I'd be pissed off..._________________"I got Wheaties!"

PG13 pulled his punches today. I have no proof of this, but he could have gone off if he wanted to today.

I don't think so. Roberson took a lot of the defensive load off him. With Roberson out for the year PG13 will have to dig even deeper on D. Consequently, he wouldn't have as much in the tank on O. Lakers pace further compounded problems for him and Melo, for example. He still had a good but not great game though.

The beauty of this game was we absolutely bullied Okc. From Randle out muscling Melo, to B.I blocking Melo and playing real solid defense. Out working them, we looked like the better team. It seemed like we controlled the entire game. Really impressed by today's game.
